Testimonials from Shea residents:
Living here these past two years has truly been one of the most meaningful parts of my college experience. When I first moved in, I was mainly focused on improving my Korean, but what surprised me even more was how much connection and growth I found across all the pods. Even with so many different languages and cultures, there is so much love, friendship, and support here — Shea House has genuinely become a second home for me. Over these two years, my language skills have improved tremendously, but even more importantly, I have grown personally through the community Shea fosters. The conversations, the friendships, and the shared experiences have shaped me in ways I never expected. Being part of Shea has been a huge part of my journey at UVA, and I am so grateful for it.
